I’ve been thinking, and blogging, about South America recently so I was happy to be led through the maze of streets in Soho yesterday by my friend Fiona to the Peruvian restaurant / bar Ceviche where we came in from the rain and drank the best pisco sours I’ve had since travelling in Peru and Chile. I had always thought that pisco was a Chilean drink but it turns out it is Peruvian. It’s very, very good wherever it’s from.
Pisco Sour
Makes two
2 measures of pisco (Peruvian brandy)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp egg white
few drops of Chuncho Bitters or Angostura Bitters which is much more readily available than Peruvian Chuncho.
- Put everything in a blender and whizz at high speed until it’s all blended together.
- Pour into two glasses and dot with the aromatic bitters
- Drink up and catch up and find truth in the quote written on the wall: una conversacion se empieza con un buen pisco – a conversation begins with a good pisco
P.S
Jack White was brilliant.
Looks like you ladies had fun. Nice drinks! A recipe to add to my summer barbecues!
Fun was had by all. Lovely drinks, I urge you to try them x
Yum. Never had pisco but have heard tell of it’s wonders. G&T for me, but first I am going to make your banoffee pie for the post-school fete BBQ that we have ended up hosting tomorrow…
I’ll take a G&T and a pisco please! So excited that you are making my banoffee, especially as you are practically best friends with The Slater! Can’t wait to see how it goes!
Sounds a great drink! Following you from a blog hop and hope you will follow me too please:)

Marmalade sandwiches – now you’re talking Paddington! Well the restaurant sells ceviche for a kick off. Didn’t notice guinea pig though which was a relief.. Hot and sweaty in Houston, don’t get too used it that’s all I can say. June in the UK, ‘unpredictable’ as the weather lady just called it. x
